s area is on three dimensional objects, but area is on two dimensional objects.
Area is for two-dimensional shapes, like rectangles or squares, and surface area is for three-dimensional shapes, like pyramids and cylinders.
Two dimensional shapes have only surface area such as polygons whereas three dimensional shapes have surface area and volume such as polyhedrons.
Area is the measure of a two-dimensional space enclosed by a shape, and surface area is the sum of all the areas of the faces of a three-dimensional solid.
The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.
